Managing Anxiety with Writing
Writing down your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors during moments of anxiety helps create a pause and activates the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for organizing and executing tasks, competes for energy with the amygdala, the part of the brain triggering fight, flight, or freeze responses. By engaging the prefrontal cortex through writing, you can quiet down the anxious brain.
